Agatha Raisin mysteries are traditional British amateur sleuth novels that are all about food and her life of early retirement in the Cotswolds, at the picture-book village of Carsely. Born and raised in a Birmingham slum, she later works in a PR office in London, finally taking early retirement after slaving away promoting other people’s success.
If you’re looking for that humorous amateur sleuth cozy mystery set in jolly old England, then the Agatha Raisin Mystery series is for you. These books are a great blend of food (quiche!), suspense and fun!
First launched in 1992, the series is written by M.C. Beaton, a pen name of Marion Chesney. Agatha Raisin mysteries have also been made into both radio and TV series. Marion Chesney is a prolific Scottish writer who has authored romance titles (as Marion Chesney) and other series, including the Hamish Macbeth series as M.C. Beaton.
